Today's class started with Mr.Rivers reminding us that our blog starts today and its perfect because Teah was absent so she can be the first to read the blog post. Plot twist Teah was late and actually here so everyone was present in class lol.
Quick reminder,
our college essay revisions are due on Monday evening. Mr.Rivers is awesome and is giving us Monday in class to work on the essay as well. Keep in mind that he is looking for growth and change rather than a perfect college essay! He wants us to be bold with our writing and focus on the two revision goals we made. Also make sure to keep reading your summer reading books as our first essay will be about the adaptation of our book. One last reminder is to bring in your permission slips!! If you misplace yours there are extras on google classroom!!!
Our two objectives in class today were to
- analyze impact of MES Choices
- Identify the challenges of adapting text from one medium to another
With our groups, we identified MES choices from a picture of a movie scene shown on the board and discussed the cause and effect of those choices. Then, each group picked the top two MES elements from the shot that were most important. After this, we looked at quotes from AO Scott who reviews movies. Mr. Rivers would put a quote from him on the board and with our groups we would translate the quote into our own words. (AO talks pretty fancy) After each quote we would discuss as a class and Mr.Rivers would help us to figure out the meaning of the quote if we could not.
Tomorrow in class we will continue to talk about AO Scott's point of view. ☺
Great work, Jill! Well organized into coherent paragraphs that really march us across the work that we did in class on Thursday. Great use of bullet points and specific details. Tone is also sophisticated (with your specific details) without sacrificing your voice! Really feels like you're talking to your peers. Great work!
